Gizli Bahçe

Cafe Bar Pub Night club Disco

😠 The bouncers treated us very bad. After 4 of my friends got inside, they didn't allow another two friends who arrived shortly after. We tried to explain them that most of us were inside already but they were very aggressive and rude. When we were leaving they stopped one of us (female) why were we...

    Do not bother, they still operate like it's 1999 - they are not LGBTQ+ friendly at all. Save your time and money. You will simply to be turned away because you do not have enough ladies with you.

    They don’t let tourists in. It seems to be a general trend in Turkey unfortunately, but it’s not cool at all. Being bounced back from low average clubs is so frustrating…

    Late night, great fun, not many tourists. They probably over charged me but well, good time. This reminded me of my youth.. the old school bar and the unexpected nightclub above... Cool !

    PROS: Friendly crowd of gay guys who compliment you and cute girls who want to dance with you. Easy to meet quality weirdos. CONS: muggy dance floor, smoke in your eyes until they opened the windows. Then it was just sweaty dancing. Music would be good for a walking scene in a movie soundtrack. Not easy to authentically dance too.

    Nice club. They have a decent sound system and you can dance on two floors. In the night I went there the DJs played electronic rythmical music which goes into the direction of techno what I liked. The people were very relaxed and nice. Between 1am and 3am it was so crowded that you could barely move or dance. Prices for beverages were low, plus there is no entrance fee. On the other hand they have a this weird door policy that for each man who wants to enter you need a woman aswell. So there is an equal amount of both genders provided. Toiletts were ok.

    As one of the oldest and most underrated night club of Taksim, Gizli Bahçe is an extraordinary club with old sofas and relaxed crowd. As one of few remaining LGBTQ+ friendly establishments on European side, this house is still rocking. For decades, it protected itself from detoriation of Taksim area, staying as it's name states in Turkish, as a secret garden. Prices are reasonable. You mostly need to take away whatever you need from the bar. If you like electronic music, you'll mostly enjoy the place on a Friday or Saturday. Apart from that, patron and the staff are very friendly people. Even I don't like electronic music, I still love to hang out in Gizli Bahçe. It's one of the surviving values of the old Taksim. If you want to chill and dance at the same time without any interruptions, this place is a must go.

    An authentic bar with friendly, speedy service. The live music adds to the experience and makes for a great night out. Beware of the fee that is charged for the live music - our bill was rounded to the nearest hundred because of this and we had no record of it.

  • 1/5 Sam M. 11 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Avoid at all costs, worst place in Istanbul - wouldn't allow two men into their place. I'm not sure why? Maybe they could let us know, I'd be interested to find out. Many thanks.

    The worst place you can ever go in Istanbul, lowest quality of music, terrible service and the worst management. My Chinese friends did come to Istanbul and we found out this place on google. We regret about it. Prices are more expensive than fanciest place in Europe and the guys on the door was allowing only good looking girls to enter. Dissatisfied!

    The comments are so different here. Some hate the place, others don't. I was there last weekend and I felt really uncomfortable. I don't really know what it was, but it was such a depressed atmosphere. There were so many male guests and only a few women there, as you can see in the comments. 90 % Male Guests. I did not feel welcome and would not visit this place again.

    Bouncers are simply unprofessional! "Private Party" is downright unpleasant and unfriendly, not recommended. If you don't have a woman with you, you can forget about it.

  • 4/5 Bora G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) As you proceed from the ferry port in Kadikoy, you enter a busy street, through a difficult entrance and walk through a tunnel, to the backyard of the building. A wonderful environment, a place where people chat with great pleasure. It's not too big or too confortable, but it's just fine. I drank Turkish coffee and it was made very nicely. Next time I want to stay longer and enjoy the place. (Original) Kadıköy'de vapur iskelesinden ilerlerken işlek bir sokakta, görmesi zor bir girişten girip bir tünelden ilerleyerek binanın arka bahçesine çıkıyorsunuz. Harika bir ortam, insanların son derece keyifle sohbet ettikleri bir yer. Çok büyük veya çok konforlu değil ancak gayet rahat. Ben Türk Kahvesi içtim ve çok güzel yapılmış idi. Bir dahaki gelişimde daha uzun kalmak ve mekanın tadını çıkartmak istiyorum.

    Good one, but that one bartender is a real wiener and should be fired. Even it's exciting to go when it's the fullest but trust me it's too full. You can't even move.
